Because planning a program doesn't just take 5 minutes

After having sort of a “meh” storytime last week, it was nice to come in and rock this one. These were stories and songs that I have used before, with just a few tweaks, so it wasn’t super new (to me), but the kids loved it all anyway, even the stories they already knew. It’s been hard for me lately to find a good balance of reusing things that I know will be successful while still stretching and growing and trying new things. This storytime leaned to the old and familiar, but it was super fun.

One thing that was new to me was the craft. This week we experimented with fabric and felt, and also did some cutting and gluing. The kids definitely enjoyed the process (and some got into the product as well.)
